If you are starting out home educating or home schooling your children, or maybe just thinking about it, and have more questions, then this is the Twinkl video for you! Taking those first steps and deregistering your child, or deciding not to take up that reception place, is often the start of a family’s home education journey but it can leave parents feeling overwhelmed. This informative video from Krissy Twinkl outlines the answers to the top five most asked questions over in our Twinkl Home Ed Facebook Group and she also shares lots of tips and advice for getting started with home ed. If you need some encouragement or support with the home ed wobbles then this is the video for you! The video also offers a window into Krissy’s home ed day as she takes us with her and shows us what a typical day home educating looks like for her. The video shows what works for her and her children but also discusses the merits of a structured home-schooling day and the merits of unschooling. Whichever approach works for you this video offers lots of help and ideas for people starting off on their home ed journey and also helps long standing home educators feel confident with the decisions they made choosing this life for their children.
